PyeongChang 2018 Gold Medalist Chloe Kim Epic Photobomb Olympics Fans
PyeongChang 2018 Olympian Chloe Kim has dropped by in a number of American shows since she impressively won the gold medal in halfpipe snowboarding event last week. But the most epic of all her TV appearances was when she photobombed some Olympics fans along with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon. The team-up was hilarious and it surprises a lot of fans.
Kim is not just the greatest snowboarder today but also she is an expert in photobombing. In an episode of The Tonight Show's "Fallon Five," the host and Kim snuck at the back of some fans taking photos at the replica of the 2018 Winter Olympics platform at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City. The duo made several different poses including the one Fallon wearing a Kim-lookalike blonde wig and the pose when the two share a Subway sandwich. All of the people they photobomb were surprised to see the two while some even screamed in excitement.
Chloe Kim on Kellog's Box
The 17-year-old snowboarder enjoyed her little escapade with Fallon, but the surprise doesn't end there. The talk show host asked Kim if she had ever dreamt to have her face on a cereal box. She excitedly replied, "I'm down."
Then Fallon surprised Kim with a giant version of her Corn Flakes box. The host revealed that the Team USA member is now on the cover of Kellogg's Corn Flakes' Team USA Gold Medal Edition. The cover photo showed her smiling while holding her gold medal.
Fellow Winter Olympian figure skating champion Nathan Chan is also featured in the special Kellog's box edition. Other Olympics gold medalists who have been featured on Kellog's box are swimming icon Michael Phelps and gymnast Gabby Douglas. Meanwhile, Kim is also in the latest cover of Sports Illustrated.
Chloe Kim's First Reaction After Winning Gold
Fallon asked Kim what it feels like to win a gold medal in the Olympics. The U.S.-born athlete admitted that she felt empty at first when she won the gold in halfpipe snowboarding event. The two also talked about her epic stunt in this year's Winter Olympics. The host asked why did she do the back-to-back 1080 spins in Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics when she already declared the winner. Kim said she will be mad at herself if she didn't do it. She explained that she felt that she can do better and wants to prove it.
At the finals of the halfpipe snowboarding event last week, Kim already secured the gold after her first run but she decided to do another run. She wowed the crowd with a spectacular back-to-back 1080 spins to earn an even higher score, 98.25 out of 100, and totally sealed her winning.
